HEART OF THE CITY OF LONDON LIMITED

Promoting the voluntary sector by making best practice in corporate social responsibility easily accessible to companies through peer-to-peer knowledge sharing in order to effectively promote ethical standards and increase positive impact on communities and the environment.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 17 years
